Speaking of this, Emperor Huai'an showed a look of success on his face: "When Li Baiyi feels that the protection around him is not enough, he will definitely come to me for support. Then I can openly control this kid. Just thinking about it is exciting."
When Eunuch Cao heard these words, his expression towards the emperor suddenly changed.
Is this emperor a little abnormal? Why should he be entangled with Li Baiyi on this kind of thing, and why is he so fussy about it? Is he taking Li Baiyi too seriously?
"Your Majesty, there is something you may have forgotten. I think it is necessary to remind Your Majesty."
Emperor Huai'an was stunned for a moment and said, "You should tell me what it is."
Emperor Huai'an sat down, calmly picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. Eunuch Cao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this is the matter of the Zhenbei Army protecting Young Master Li Baiyi."
Emperor Huai'an glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with this? Is there any problem? Don't I give these people their military pay?"
Eunuch Cao nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the money these people went to protect him was really not given by you, but paid for by the young uncle himself."
"So when these people protected Li Baiyi, they did their best and were not disloyal at all."
After hearing this, Emperor Huai'an simply wanted to crush the thing in his hand: "Why is this little guy so well-arranged everywhere? In other words, even if my Xichang doesn't show up, he will be safe and sound. thing?"
Eunuch Cao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, that's the theory."
Emperor Huai'an took a deep breath, pointed at Eunuch Cao and said, "Then tell me, if I want to deal with this kid, do you have any methods?"
Hearing this, Eunuch Cao looked a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, there is really nothing we can do. The young Eunuch is extremely resourceful and will definitely be a powerful figure assisting His Royal Highness in supporting the country in the future. There is no way for me to deal with him."
A somewhat questioning voice came from outside the door: "Who are you going to deal with, Your Majesty? Who are you planning to deal with? Can you please let me listen?"
Concubine Xi's voice came from outside. Emperor Huai'an quickly looked at the door, only to see Concubine Xi walking in with needle and thread. Her face seemed a little unhappy.
Emperor Huai'an was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "My beloved concubine, why are you here? Don't you want to go out and walk around?"
He was a little worried whether Concubine Xi had heard what he just said.
Although Concubine Xi seemed to be very strict with Li Baiyi in front of him, only Emperor Huai'an knew that Concubine Xi valued Li Baiyi very much and would never allow herself to punish him in any way.
In the past, when Li Baiyi was just a playboy, this was how she treated Li Baiyi. Now that Li Baiyi has become a key figure who can help the country and enable the prince to successfully ascend the throne, her changes are even more obvious.
Concubine Xi snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty, if I don't come over, I don't know if Your Majesty has already planned to take action against Li Baiyi."
Emperor Huai'an said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Well, that's what I said. Can I really treat him like that? That's impossible."
Concubine Xi snorted coldly and ignored him.
...
Li Baiyi and a few others played in the hook fence for a long time before they went home. Everyone was very happy.
Li Baiyi is very happy that he has solved the Goulan matter and also solved the future business problems.
On the way home, Li Baiyi hummed a little tune and looked at the roadside, feeling that his future was bright. He also seemed to have completely forgotten that he had a fight with Wu Cong not long ago.
That kind of thing is just a passing thing to him. Anyway, there are countless opponents like this, and the ones he has dealt with before are all high-end ones.
The battle with Wu Cong was actually the lowest level, relying on force points to decide the outcome, which was really a bit unsightly for him.
Li Baiyi's carriage was moving forward, and the coachman suddenly stopped and said to Li Baiyi: "Young Master, there are people from us ahead to report. I don't know what happened."
Li Baiyi was stunned for a moment and said: "Stop quickly and ask what happened. Could it be that there is something going on at the Zhenguo Palace?"
If his father sent someone here, then something must have happened at home. He was enjoying himself outside. Could it be that Wu Cong sent someone to raid his home? If that was the case, he must have let this kid die.
Of course, this kind of thing should not happen. After all, Wu Cong should be frightened now. He would not dare to take any revenge on his side.
If he is a smart person now, he should be a coward first and wait until he is sure before taking revenge on himself.
Moreover, Li Baiyi felt that Wu Cong must have thought of various means to retaliate against him. He could see that the other party must have made some preparations.
I just don't know what this kid is thinking, but he is not afraid.
The man who came to report came to the carriage and immediately knelt down and said, "My young master, the Duke of Zhenguo, has news and he wants you to go home as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Li Baiyi leaned out of the carriage and said, "What's the matter? Did my father say what happened? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
The person who came to report shook his head and said: "Go back to my young master. I didn't say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. He just said that you should go back quickly. The matter is very urgent."
After hearing this, Li Baiyi thought for a while and said, "Okay, I understand. You go back quickly, and we will go back together."
The group of people returned to the Zhenguo Palace together. Li Baiyi quickly found Li Xiao. He was only slightly relieved when he saw that his father was fine.
"What happened to dad? Are you so anxious to find me? Doesn't it mean there is something urgent? Why do you look so laid-back?"
Duke Zhen Guo shook his head and said, "If I didn't call you back quickly, you would still be playing outside."
"How's it going? Are you scared? Don't worry, dad is watching over you at home, nothing will happen."
Li Baiyi immediately stamped his feet anxiously and said, "Dad, please tell me what happened. If you don't tell me, I will be in trouble with you."
The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said, "It's about arms. Didn't you make some muskets before? People say there is something wrong with the gunpowder, and I asked you if you have any solution."
Hearing this, Li Baiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is this just the problem? Are there no other problems?"
Duke Zhen Guo nodded and said, "Isn't this issue important enough?"
